Chapter 126: Jokes
In the tent on the heavenly street, Mrs. Chen and Chen Shao are there, unlike the female children who are admiring the lanterns outside, they love to be clean.
When Cheng Jianniang came in, the father and son were guarding the chessboard and killing inseparable.
Through a screen, I heard the laughter of the ladies over there.
“…… The evergreen slave replied that there was a horse, and Guo Yi was very happy to hear it, thinking that he didn't say it right yesterday, but he grew up today, so he asked who taught you? , Chang Qingnu remembered his sister-in-law's words, and said that it was taught by his brother, and Guo Yi asked you where your brother is now? Chang Qingnu said at home, Guo Yi asked you what your brother is doing at home? The evergreen slave said that my brother was giving birth to a son in the house, and he was still lying on the bed..."
Old Lady Chen snorted and laughed.
There was also laughter on the other side of the screen.
Chen Danniang smiled and hugged Cheng Niangzi's arm, tears came out.
Chen Shibanniang's sisters naturally laughed without saying anything.
"I've never learned it again, and I'm getting worse and less like an elder!" Mrs. Chen covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at Mrs. Qin with the other and smiled.
The girls outside crowded in more, and those who didn't hear it heard it were relayed again, and the laughter came and went.
In this piece of laughter, Cheng Jianniang, who was sitting upright, looked very abrupt.
"Mrs. Cheng." Mrs. Qin looked at her with a smile, "Isn't it funny?" ”
"It's not funny." Cheng Jianniang nodded and said.
Mrs. Qin was stunned, and then laughed again.
"It's so funny, why don't you think it's funny?" She said, "You're going to tell a funny one." ”
"I won't." Cheng Jianniang shook her head and said.
"Cheng Niangzi, you are not good at this, you are young, and you always don't like to talk or laugh." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen coughed lightly.
"Don't be self-cooked. Say anything. She reminded in a low voice.
This lady is not the women who surrounded you in the past. I'm proud of whatever you joke about.
When the time comes, I will throw you in the face. Instead, they made a feud.
"I don't mean anything I said, Cheng Niangzi won't be unhappy." Mrs. Qin naturally understood her kindness, and said with a smile while looking at Cheng Jianniang, "I'll tell the lady one more, I will definitely be able to make you laugh..."
"Alright, Mother." Qin Shisanlang couldn't help but interrupt her on the side.
All eyes in the room were on him.
Because of the good of the family, there is no evasion. Qin Shisanlang also followed in and sat at the mouth of the tent.
"What you say is not necessarily funny, everyone cheers." He laughed, "Someone who doesn't tell a joke on purpose can make people laugh." ”
When he said this, he thought of Cheng Jianniang's slip of the tongue in Desheng Building, and he couldn't help laughing.
He smiled, and the maid sitting behind him naturally knew what he said, and suddenly couldn't help but sneer, and then hurriedly smiled again, looking at Qin Shisanlang with a little annoyance.
The women in the tent were bewildered by his inexplicable smile.
And so it was. Thirteen Lang, you haven't said it yet, and you have made yourself laugh. Chen Banniang said with a smile.
Laughter rang out again in the room.
Mrs. Qin also smiled. Covering her mouth with a fan, her eyes turned around Qin Shisanlang and Cheng Jianniang, and Mimi laughed more and more.
"Mrs. Cheng, come here and sit down."
In the midst of laughter, the voice of Old Lady Chen came from behind the screen.
"Old lady, we women are talking, you have to come and break up." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
"Cheng Niangzi is not an ordinary woman, she doesn't like to hear what you say, so she might as well come and play chess with me." Old Lady Chen said with a smile.
Qin Shisanlang raised his eyebrows slightly, and watched Cheng Jianniang get up.
"Go ahead." Mrs. Qin spoke first and smiled, "I'll send you back in a while." ”
"Hey, how can that make sense." Mrs. Chen smiled, "Don't we even have a carriage to send people to our family?" ”
"You are only allowed to repay the favor, and you have to give us a chance." Mrs. Qin said, getting up and pointing to the maidservant behind her, "You stay, and serve Mrs. Cheng well." ”
The handmaid smiled and replied.
Everyone got up to see off the guests, and Qin Shisanlang took the first step.
"Why do you bother? In vain. Mrs. Chen whispered.
"No, how do you know that the road is in vain?" Mrs. Qin laughed in a low voice, "It's the first time I've seen someone who doesn't laugh at my jokes, so I don't believe in teasing her." ”
Mrs. Chen glared at her in disgust.
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and smiled, patted her hand with a fan, and left.
The ladies seemed to be standing outside the tent and looking at the street scene, and the tent was quiet.
When Cheng Jianniang came in, Old Lady Chen and Chen Shao were still guarding the chessboard and killing inseparable.
"Let's watch a little bit of chess, quietly, better than any joke." Old Lady Chen said with a smile.
"To each his own good." Cheng Jianniang said and sat down on the side.
"Cheng Niangzi never seems to have any resentment." Old Lady Chen said with a smile.
"Because there's nothing to complain about." Cheng Jianniang said, "In the end, it has always been a wish come true." ”
That's not to put it mildly.
How dare you say that.
But when you think about it, she has always been.
Only when things can't be done can people have resentment, for example, themselves?
At first, everyone was worried that Cheng Niangzi would not come to her house, but now it seems that why wouldn't she come?
Although she hit a wall with him, she still got her wish, she was not a poor person to be comforted, but a victor who was feared.
Chen Shao's hand paused slightly, and the white son in his hand was a little off.
Old lady Chen smiled and didn't speak again, even when he was talking, his eyes never left the chessboard.
The stalemate on the chessboard has reached a stalemate, and the father and son have been falling for longer and longer.
Old Lady Chen pinched the sunspot and hesitated for a moment, shook her head, took her eyes off the chessboard, and looked at Cheng Jianniang.
"Lady, how do you remember how to play chess?" He asked, "Do you think I still have a chance to win?" ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at the chessboard, stretched out her hand and picked up a sunspot, and didn't even think about dropping it directly.
"Won." She said, withdrawing her hand.
Old Lady Chen and Chen Shao both looked at the chessboard, their faces shocked.
Sure enough, this one killed a son. Let the chessboard suddenly mutate. Winner loses. The loser wins.
Chen Shao looked at the chessboard for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"Lady, the next time you shoot, will you say hello?" He said meaningfully, "My half-day work has been in vain. ”
"Don't blame me for this." Cheng Jianniang smiled and said, also meaning something.
Old lady Chen smiled.
"Okay, if you lose, you lose. If you want to blame yourself, you can't blame others. He said, waving his hand, "Eat tea, eat tea." ”
The chessboard was torn off, and the maidservant brought fragrant tea.
"Come and have a taste." Old Lady Chen said with a smile.
Cheng Jianniang thanked her and took a bite of it, and made a move.
"It's an imperial tea that Your Majesty appreciated." Old Lady Chen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty?" Cheng Jianniang asked, looking at Old Lady Chen, "In the palace?" ”
"Yes, the new fragrant tea in the palace." Chen Shao said. "I still have some here, if the lady likes it. Take it and eat it. ”
Cheng Jianniang shook her head and smiled.
"No, I don't eat much tea." She said, draining the tea from her bowl, "It's getting late, I'm going back." ”
Old Lady Chen nodded and looked at her with a smile.
"Mrs. Cheng." Chen Shao said.
Cheng Jianniang stood and looked at him.
"Do more good deeds, don't rebel on the road." Chen Shao said.
"Good deeds? Boulevard? Cheng Jianniang looked at him and said with a smile, "My lord, it turns out that you are doing things for the official for this, no wonder you are not very lucky." ”
Chen Shao frowned.
"You have to know that you are lucky this time because you are standing on the right path, if it is a crooked way, the result is not certain." He said.
"Lord Chen, do you really not know what Lu Dao is, or do you not know what Lu Dao is doing?" Cheng Jianniang said, looking at him, "The party is the same as the other, whether it is right or wrong, this is the avenue you should recognize now." ”
Chen Shao was stunned and watched the woman turn away.
What was she talking about, did she know what she was talking about?
The party is the same and the party is different, whether it is right or wrong?
Isn't this something that only those in the Gao Party can do? They have been biting indiscriminately, wantonly framing them, and doing everything they can to crack down on opponents of the DPRK and China.
She even said, this is the avenue!
"She's like that!" Chen Shao raised his eyebrows and said.
Old Lady Chen smiled in the back.
"She, hasn't she always been like this?" He said.
With the help of the power to shoot the splash, the threat can kill the civil officials of the court, anything that seems difficult and helpless should be avoided and avoided, this woman has always had only one solution.
It's not defense, it's not forbearance, it's a sharp and decisive attack without hesitation.
Just like this time, she said that she couldn't move herself, so she didn't hesitate to turn around and find someone who could move, so it didn't matter what you were for, she only wanted for what she wanted.
She asks for what she wants, and he asks for what he asks for....
The party is the same and the party is different, whether it is right or wrong? Such... Is it possible....
"Little lady, do you know what you are talking about..."Chen Shao muttered with a complicated expression.
It seems that in addition to treating diseases and killing people, he still knows too little about this little lady of the Cheng family......
The night is darker, and the autumn breeze is rising.
"Your Highness."
A chamberlain approached the wall and handed over a large furry cloak.
"Change this thick cloak."
The king of Jin'an County held his head in his hand, quietly looking at the city gate, and he had been standing in this posture all night.
"No, it's almost over." He said.
As he spoke, a few chamberlains ran out of the city gate, holding long whips in their hands.
A crisp, shrill sound spread through the streets.
With these whips, the crowd of people who gathered to laugh bowed to the city gate, and then retreated outward like a tide.
The bright lights gradually went out, and the night was like a giant beast entrenched, swallowing up the brightness of the market one by one, and the sky and the earth gradually fell into darkness.
"Your Highness."
The chamberlain reminded softly.
The people in front of Xuande have gone, and only the people who clean up the streets are busy.
"Let's go back."
The King of Jin'an turned around, tightened his cloak, and strode away.
